Kid C busted
trainerjet -- Good catch. My first tipoff was when Kid C claimed to be senior to one of our most senior Captains. I slept since I answered his earlier emails, so I had forgotten them. With Integrity as one of our core values, and a personal history that demanded the highest levels of honesty, I sometimes forget that some people are not quite so truthful.
FlyDeltaJets "In the meantime, however, I'd much rather higher salaries, better workrules, bigger pensions, better benefits. While smiles, handshakes, leather jackets and pizza parties are nice, they don't feed the family or pay the mortgage. "
Delta -- Where do you set the limit? More, better, bigger is how the industry got into this mess. If you are paid an adequate wage and live within your means, you're not worried about paying the mortgage, feeding the family, or besting your neighbor. jetBlue pays me a very comfortable wage with excellent work rules and a brilliant retirement package. It pays for all that and plenty more. I expect it will continue to grow WITH the company, not AHEAD of the profits. Meanwhile, the smiles, handshakes, leather jackets, and pizza parties (among other things) sure make it a great place to work!
